SATHEE: Exemplar Problems

Exemplar Problems

Problem 30 : Discuss the concept of lattice energy in ionic compounds. Calculate the lattice energy for magnesium oxide (MgO) given the ion charges and the radius of the ions.

Solution :

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate ions in an ionic compound. The formula is Lattice Energy = k * (Q₁ * Q₂) / r. Calculate the lattice energy for MgO using the provided ion charges and ion radius.
